Early Life
Streets was born in Matteson, Illinois. His mother, Karen Streets, named him after Olympic figure skater Tai Babilonia. Streets' father is Clayton Streets. His mother kept him active in sports as a youth to keep him out of trouble. His mother describes him as a clumsy awkward youth and his father remembers him for his duck-footed stance. However, his father says the first time he saw Tai play youth football, he outran everyone on the other team when running an end reverse. Streets has younger sisters named Aja and Jad.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“They circumcised women, little girls, in Jesus’s time. Did he know? Did the subject anger or embarrass him? Did the early church erase the record? Jesus himself was circumcised; perhaps he thought only the cutting done to him was done to women, and therefore, since he survived, it was all right.”
—Alice Walker (b. 1944)
“Allow me, whom Fortune always desires to bury, lay down my life in these final trivialities. Many have freely died in longlasting loves, among whose number may the earth cover me as well.”
—Propertius Sextus (c. 50–16 B.C.)
